snippetexpanderd(1)

NAME ¶

snippetexpanderd - Snippet Expander daemon

DESCRIPTION ¶

The snippetexpanderd daemon is the brains of Snippet Expander, and must be running for other components such as the snippetexpander CLI and snippetexpandergui desktop client applications to work.

The daemon manages the database of snippets, most settings, and performs many other background operations on behalf of the client applications.

SYNOPSIS ¶

snippetexpanderd [{-d|--database} filename] [-v|--version] [-h|--help]

OPTIONS ¶

-d, --database=filename

Optional database path relative to the XDG_DATA_HOME path (usually ~/.local/share/).

-v, --version

Display version number.

-h, --help

Display help.

NOTES ¶

You probably don't want to manually run snippetexpanderd, it's best to start it via the snippetexpander CLI or snippetexpandergui desktop client applications.

By default snippetexpanderd saves snippets and settings to an SQLite database at ~/.local/share/snippetexpanderd/snippetexpanderd.db.
